Garage Door Spring Replacement
Same-day spring replacement, done safely.
Garage door springs counterbalance the full weight of the door, and a broken spring is one of the most common—and most dangerous to DIY—garage door problems. Pinky's Garage Doors replaces torsion and extension springs for homes across the Phoenix metro, usually the same day you call.
Signs Your Spring Has Failed
- A loud bang from the garage, often first thing in the morning
- The door won't open, or an opener strains and stalls trying to lift it
- A visible gap in the coil above the door
- The door looks crooked or lopsided when partly open
What's Included
- Diagnosis of torsion vs. extension spring systems
- Replacement with correctly sized, matched springs (never a mismatched pair)
- Cable inspection, since worn cables often fail alongside springs
- Full balance and safety test after replacement
Springs are under extreme tension, and using the wrong size or attempting a DIY fix is a genuine safety risk. Our technicians carry spring stock for all major door weights and sizes, so replacement is usually a single visit—no multi-day wait for parts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my garage door spring break?
Springs are rated for a certain number of open/close cycles and wear out over time—typically 7-12 years of normal use. Arizona heat can accelerate wear by drying out lubrication and adding thermal stress.
Should I replace one spring or both?
If your door has two springs, we generally recommend replacing both at the same time, even if only one broke—the second is usually close behind and mismatched springs cause uneven wear.
Is it safe to replace a spring myself?
No. Torsion springs in particular are under enough tension to cause serious injury if handled without the right tools and training. This is one repair we always recommend leaving to a professional.
